[QUOTE="strangeworld, post: 733077, member: 22313"] Well she is home again.... Yesterday she texted asking when shw can come home. She said she was taken to behavioral health and just asked to fill out paperwork...the lady asked why sje was there....daughter said she didn't know so the lady gave her directions to downtown. Ridiculous. I told her every single time she threatens to kill herself I will call 911. Told her one more episode of drunken belligerent abuse and she will no longer be welcome here. Tried to talk about how for every problem there is a solution but it takes EFFORT. She found out about a new protective order that is "up tp 10 years" and she said that is what sent her over the edge. Told her she is to contribute to the household by doing household chores if not paying rent. I need to make a list so it's clear. Told her this house is a peaceful zone. No alcohol or pot or rage. Told her I absolutely will not give her rides unless it's on my own schedule. We started to cave the last month. I think she knows I'm serious this time. She apologized but it seemed a bit disingenuous. She is very depressed and seems to be parasitic towards her boyfriend. I can't change her heart. I just wonder what would happen if he broke up with her... For now we are going to allow her to live here ss long as she follows our rules but one more episode like the other day and she's going to be out for good. I know our expectations are low now and some people think we are crazy for allowing our daughter to live her without working or school or getting GED or rehab or counseling but for now it's all I can do. I want to be here for her during this hard time w her boyfriend, but I know I might end up a doormat in the end. It's my (and husband's) choice and if she doesn't improve in time then I'll know I was a fool and need to set firmer boundaries and kick her out. I'm just not ready to do that now. [/QUOTE]
